Re: [libmicrohttpd] HTTP Authentication using libmicrohttpd

[Christian Grothoff]

Since this seems to become a FAQ, I've added a simple example to SVN.

You can find it at

https://gnunet.org/svn/libmicrohttpd/src/examples/authorization_example.c

Note that for a real-world implementation you would probably want to not 
hardcode the authorization string but generate it from a username and 
password as part of the code -- and of course, you may want to consider 
schemes other than basic authentication.  But as far as MHD is concerned, 
your code will look something like this.
